Application iled January 16, 1906. Serial No. 296.381.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Beit known that I, HARRY C. TRUEsDELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Berlin, in the county of Green Lake and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wristj ers; and I do hereby declare ythe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to Wristers, particularly adapted to be worn within the ends of coat-sleeves.

It has for its object to providea covering for the wrist which may be easily put on and removed and which is of such formas to close the opening in the end of the sleeve.

The invention consists, broadly, of a covering of suitable material, preferably fur, placed around a bent spring. One end of the covering projects beyond the ends of the spring and the other end of said covering forming a pointed extension to the Wrister, which is adapted to fit within the portion or fold of the sleeve below the Wrist.

The invention also consists of the other features of construction and parts hereinafter described, and more particularly pointed out in the claim concluding this specification.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention, Figure l is a perspective view of the lowerkend of a sleeve, showing a wrister embodying the invention arran ed within the end thereof. Fig. 2 is a detai ed view of the wrister alone, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view thereof.

I/Vhile the preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and its construction is described in this specification, the right is reserved to make such changes from the construction shown and described herein as the scope of the claims hereto appended will permit.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, l is the covering of fur, which is made in the form of a tube open at the ends for the insertion of the spring 2. Said spring is bent in the form of an oval arranged at the bend with its arms extending therefrom in substantially converging lines to a meetingpoint, the ends of said arms being preferably bent out slightly, as at 3, to form abutting surfaces. One end of the tubular covering when in place on the spring projects beyond the ends of said spring and the other end of saidcovering, as at 4. This projecting end of the coverm(r provides a good bearing for the other end thereof and forms an extension adapted to iit and close the portion of the sleeve below the wrist, where it drops to a pointed fold.

The position of the wrister in the end of a sleeve is shown in Fig. 1, from which the advantages of the extension 4 will be readily observed. The fact that the ends of the spring may be sprung apart and the wrister opened renders the device easy to put on and remove from the wrist.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A wrister comprising a covering tubular in cross-section and a bent spring arranged in said covering, said spring having its upper part rounded and its lower part conical in form, the covering conforming to the shape of the spring and extending beyond the ends of the spring whereby the ends of the latter and its covering serve to form a pointed extension of the wrister, the inner surfaces of the covering, near the ends thereof, held in engagement with each other by said spring.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HARRY C. TRUESDELL.
